Claremont McKenna College Computer Labs

Named for Ryal Poppa '57 and opened in 1980, Poppa Computer Lab is the main computing lab for students on campus. Located in CMC's Adams Hall, Poppa Lab features the largest collection of lab computing resources on campus, including scanners, video editing stations, free laser printing, among other critical offerings for students. Poppa Lab has 36 computers - a mix of Macs and Windows.

Ryal Lab, also named for Ryal Poppa '57, is the newest computer lab at CMC. Finished in the fall of 2008, Ryal completes a comprehensive offering of computing facilities and supports students in the heart of the campus. Special attention in design of this lab was dedicated to group work areas as well as including a beautiful outdoor area with full computer support.

South Lab, opened in 2001, is the most ecological of the CMC computer labs with its furniture recycled from a previous install. However, the space has been outfitted with brand new chairs to meet the demands of students who use the labs daily. South Lab is located in Stark Hall and assists with providing resources to all students in all locations of the college.

KC165, also known as KTC, is a resource for both students and faculty. The classroom can be used with or without the computers - flip the monitor down for non-computing use, flip it up for computing use. While some classes meet in KC165 on a regular basis, the Technology Classroom doubles as a computer lab for students during non-classroom hours and is open during weekday evenings with specialty computer workshops available as well.

Fletcher Jones Lecture Hall (Roberts North 12) is solely a computing classroom and features a proxy system, where instructors can show their screen to all students at their computers and toggle between instructor screen and student screens. With high-capacity seating, Fletcher Hall can also be used without the technology features and make use of its eight whiteboards. Located in Roberts North Hall, Fletcher is a powerful and exciting example of instructional computing.
